After meeting with producers, Warren took on his first film as a director and producer with Man Beast in 1956.[3] He initially created his own films, although relying heavily on stock footage. Later, he would just buy foreign films that already existed and re-edit them, dubbing some scenes in English and inserting new footage which he shot with American actors such as John Carradine and Katherine Victor.[4] Warren even wrote some screenplays for his films under the pen name "Jacques Lecoutier", which he sometimes misspelled in the credits.[5]
